Fear Inoculum, Angel Has Fallen, and Ready or Not

The final From The Basement of the summer has arrived. But before Jason and Shawn take their annual vacation from all things entertainment, they get roped into discussing a few things cinematic and musical. By fan request, the Basement Boys talk the first single from Tool's new album, Fear Inoculum -- the band's first since 2006's 10,000 Days -- and their sudden recognition by Billboard. One of the Dynamic Duo is a Tool fan, the other is not. How does that sway the conversation? Stick with us! Jason and Shawn also catch up with Mindhunter Season 2 and the first season of Wu Assassin, among other things. They've got a few thoughts on the just announced Matrix 4, the fate of Spider-Man in the MCU, and the new Rambo: Last Blood and Underwater trailers. Whoa! So sit back, grab your favourite liquor drink, and push play. From The Basement returns Sept. 13 with a feature on Rob Zombie's 3 From Hell that includes a one on one with Ottis himself, Bill Moseley.

Review: Mindhunter Season 2

The first season of Mindhunter was easily one of Netflix's best shows; a compelling, and often brooding, adaptation of John Douglas' non-fiction work of the same name. Douglas created criminal profiling for the FBI by interviewing captured serial killers, and the opening season did a fine job of bringing that harsh, but fascinating, story to life. Season 2 continues to draw from the book, and focuses on the Atlanta Child Murders while continuing to follow the story that haunted Douglas' career - the BTK killer. Meanwhile, it expands on the characters' personal stories (which are largely fictionalized), all the while maintaining the mood and cool craftsmanship of the first season. A big part of Mindhunter's continued success is executive producer and director David Fincher. Fincher is so damn good at telling these kinds of stories! Mindhunter is less Se7en and more Zodiac, but it's pure Fincher. He is a master craftsman, and even when he isn't direct...

Zygote and the return of Amy Wickenheiser

The Basement is two bastards and a bastardette once more as everyone's favourite female Spider-Man fan -- Amy Wickenheiser -- returns to the studio! What's Amy been up to and what does she have to say? Stick with us!

The return of Amy Wickenheiser

Jason and Shawn have been back at it for more than a month now, but one key player in their podcast game has been missing... Amy Wickenheiser!

David Fincher's Mindhunter TV series gets a promo

No one, but no one, handles the topic of serial killers quite like David Fincher. The man made his mark on the subject with 1995's Se7en, and then took it to new heights of cinematic greatness with Zodiac a decade ago. Now he's taken John Douglas's fantastic true-crime book, Mindhunter, and brought it to the small screen via Netflix, who Shawn and I have pimped so much lately we should be getting royalties.
